Office of Continuous Improvement

What We Do

The Office of Continuous Improvement (OCI) coordinates agency-wide implementation of the EPA Lean Management System (ELMS). ELMS is a system that enables the agency to track important actions so that we respond to and resolve challenges quickly and thoroughly, using Lean principles and tools. With ELMS, all parts of EPA will:

• set ambitious and achievable targets for their work,
• measure their results, and
• improve their processes to bridge gaps between targets and results.

ELMS uses visual management with regularly updated performance and workflow data to monitor progress toward EPA’s Strategic Plan targets.   The near-term goal of OCI is to deploy ELMS in 80 percent of agency work units by September 30, 2020.
